[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 16338233, member: 155561"] Respectfully, I'll have to disagree. Let me preface this by saying that i personally prefer a V8 for my cars - I prefer simple horsepower - but I've been doing the turbo 4 thing long enough to know that even 100 ft/lbs per cylinder is child's play for most common 4 cylinder engines these days. Let's take your example of stress limits though, because it does bring up an interesting view point. Turbo engines can easily handle, and make, lots of low end torque. Let's say you have the 2.3L turbo and 3.5L NA v6 both making 280 ft/lbs. The 2.3L can make that torque probably as early as 1500 to 1800 rpms and hold it out probably as far as 4500 or so. The 3.5 might not even make that much torque until 4500+ anyways. So, if I were just chugging along in my car, using the engine's torque to move me through the air, rolling resistance, carry the weight, etc... which engine is actually having to work harder at a cruising RPM of say 2000 or so?
